Two Much

Last weekend the two most important ladies in my life arrived in Mumbai. Differing in their age, thinking, their interests, their height, & many things else, they were united about one thing, their opinion of me ! To them I had made my house into a typical bachelor pad which needed much undoing and undoing is what they did.

They waltzed in and out of Mumbai in a week but their being here meant a lot to me. They made my apartment a home. They are Shikha & Shruti, my wife and my li'l girl. Together they touched every part of the house and made it like a home, fresh smelling bedsheets ( Shrutu, I am never going to forgive you for your upturned nose !!), calendars which reflected the actual month of the year, home which smelt of incense and love, toiletries which seemed to say love and care, sticker's on the fridge for fun & toy flowers in a candle stand ! Spices in their rightful places, ice cream in the freezer compartment, clothes on a clothes stand and with all of this lots and lots of small, significant moments.

You tend to take some things in life for granted till life teaches you that there is nothing which is going to be as it is today, everything that has been granted to you is not yours, it can go as it came. So I hold onto these moments and am grateful for them. To the two of you, thank you for being there, for being so caring and loving, I miss you both & love you both.
